[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does grounded even mean for someone her age?

What do her outbursts look like?  Does she have them at home?

When someone is punished ineffectively and that often, it stops being punishment and becomes their norm.  I don’t think what you are doing is working.[/quote]

She has them occasionally at home...they're basically crying meltdowns when she can't perform to her expected level immediately, and the meltdowns lead to avoidance. We've told her it's not ok to avoid homework, studying, and practice, and every time she skips one of the three, she gets another fun thing taken away (iPad, Switch, TV time, bike, etc). [/quote]

I can't believe too neurocytes didn't diagnose her with PDA that's exactly what she sounds like she has. Pathological demand avoidance. And because she's female they're probably missing that she has autistic tendencies as well. [/quote]

Jesus the crying because she can't hear the teacher and trying to control the other student should be such a red flag for you for how out of control her brain feels. I assume they've examined her for auditory processing disorders as well?
